Last week, Odette and Dave Annable announced that they are
expecting their first child together later this year. And the expectant mom,
who just turned 30 on May 10, already knows she will be the disciplinarian. “I’ll
be bad cop,” a laughing Odette told
Hello! during the Super Saturday Sale benefiting
the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund in Santa Monica.

Her husband of four years also is well aware that he will be
the big softie. “The word no will be erased from my vocabulary,” Dave shared
with
HELLO!, “That’s going to be trouble for me.”

Just past the halfway point of her pregnancy, the glowing actress
also shared how she is feeling. “I’ve been feeling, I know I feel bad saying
this, but I felt really great,” the
Banshee actress stated. “I haven’t had any
cravings. I’ve been craving cucumber with lemon and salt which is so bizarre.
But I’ve been feeling really great.”

Though she was wearing a long, flowing dress, the
beginnings of a baby bump were clearly visible at the Saturday event. As she
walked down the blue carpet, hand in hand with a grinning Dave, Odette has no
doubts that he will be the best father. “Dave is meant to be a father,” she
continued. “He’s been talking about this ever since I met him, and I even said
to myself when we were first dating ‘if I don’t end up with this guy, I want
him to be the father of my children.’ No joke.”

Luckily for the former Brothers & Sisters star, it is
now becoming his reality. “It feels like the right time,” he mentioned. “We’re
both very excited so now we get to sort of celebrate with friends and family.
It’s great.”

Looks like they are also celebrating an already successful
2015 as well. Odette’s new series
Astronaut Wives Club will be premiering
this summer on ABC. “We’re actually done shooting, so I was pregnant
for the last little bit of the show so I’m just chilling out right now,” the
brunette beauty explained. “I’m just relaxing.”

Meanwhile Dave can be seen this fall in the NBC medical
drama
Heartbreaker alongside Melissa George. The actor added, “Odie
is on in the summer, and I’m on in the fall so our grandparents are happy, and
they get to see us all over the country, so it’s a great year.”
